Default Superstar Electric motor swap question

I Recently purchased Hobbico's Superstar electric 3 channel rtf. Yesterday while flying I eneded up putting her nose first in the ground during a bad landing. Fortunately the damage was minor and mostly to the motor, which was not repairable. Question: I have a brand new 20 turn motor off of my son's Traxxas Stampede R/C truck (he upgraded). The prop mounts right onto the motor shaft with no problem and the motor fits perfectly. Can I use this motor? Is there sufficient power as compared to the stock motor and can the speed control handle it? Lastly, If this motor wont cut it, what can anyone suggest for not alot of $$???

Thanks,
Red
